This is a "changing tastes" sale. I'm still keeping some working blades but these Custom Shop items deserve to be let back into the Trough for a new generation of Hogs. Knives do not come with sheaths.
No Trades: I need nothing in the way of blades or other items. Accepted Payment methods include Paypal (preferred and there are no fees on your end) and USPS money orders.
Prices include shipping and insurance within the United States. I am willing to sell internationally but you must contact me to discuss the additional costs involved. A domestic buyer will trump your request if they offer full price while we are still negotiating shipping costs. Once we have agreed on a price, it's yours.
First "I'll take it" posted here establishes your claim.
Here's a picture of everything for sale in this thread:
1911 Grips
Custom Busse Micarta Grips for full-sized 1911-pattern pistols (e.g., Commander and Government Model). One set is in the now-extinct Canvas Snakeskin (SPF) and the other is in the increasingly rare Canvas Tigerhide (SPF). $100 per set.
Knives
From Left to Right in the photo above:
$1000/950/900SPF Straight Handle Steel Heart Variant
If it isn't the first of the so-called "Fishy" variants, it's darn close. I got it from an old-school hog, who in turn had it from another, who bought it from the original Chip (As in "Fish and Chips"). 8" INFI blade with flat primary grind and high hollow sharpened top edge. Satin with vertically grooved black canvas micarta handles. Overall Length: 13"
$500/450$400 Custom Shop BATAC Variant
DCBB with hand-shaped black canvas micarta handles. Unique blade profile (identical to NARK) and TAC handle with custom rounded pommel. This came from Blade West in 2007 and if not one-of-a-kind, it surely has few siblings. Unsharpened top swedge. 5.75" from tip to scales. 11" overall length.
$600/550$500 2006 Custom Shop Satin Jack Variant
DCBB with rope-cut black paper micarta handles. There are three of these that I know of, all from the 2006 Minumental Extravaganza. Some of us took to calling these the "Swayback Jacks" when they first came out. This one has a full flat grind with unsharpened top swedge. 6.25" from tip to scales. 11" overall length.
After offering it privately to another Hog who had expressed interest in the past, I'm adding a final special blade:
$725/675$625 2005 Chicago Custom Knife Show Badger Recurve
This is a custom hand-ground recurve blade on an Ergo Badger Attack blank. Unique handle with tan canvas micarta grips and MP45 bolsters that cover the talon hole. DCBB finish with a swedge that is just short of being sharpened. There is only one of these on the planet. 4.5" from tip to scales. 10" overall length.
